Chlorophyll as a Simple , Inexpensive and Environment - friendly Colorimetric Indicator for NO 2 Gas MAY KRISTINE
نویسنده
چکیده
Chlorophyll is utilized as a simple, inexpensive and environment-friendly (“green”) colorimetric indicator for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas. A drastic color change from green to yellow was observed when chlorophyll, either dissolved in CH2Cl2 solution or absorbed into paper, was exposed to NO2 gas. Other gases such as CO2 and SO2 did not exhibit any color change with chlorophyll. Spectroscopic analysis showed nitration of chlorophyll as possible cause for the color change.

Testing of Environment Friendly Refrigerant R290 for Water Cooler Application (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents environment friendly refrigerant R290 as a solution to the environmental concerns like depletion of ozone layer and rise in global warming because of wide use of synthetic refrigerants R22 and R134a. The water cooler is the widely used refrigeration application in warm climatic countries. Refrigerant R22 and R134a are predominantly used refrigerants in water cooler refrigera...
متن کاملBiochemical changes of Conocarpus erectus (combretaceae) in response to gas refinery air pollution as an air pollution indicator
Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...
متن کاملMontmorillonite modified as an efficient and environment friendly catalyst for one- pot synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H) ones
Montmorillonite modified is an efficient environmental friendly catalyst under one-pot-three-component synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H) ones. The preparation was performed with an aldehyde, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, urea or thiourea under solvent-free conditions. In comparison with the other methods of Biginelli reaction, this new method has short reaction time inexpensive catalyst and ...
متن کاملA paper indicator for triple-modality sensing of nitrite based on colorimetric assay, Raman spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Paper indicators based on colorimetric assays are widely used for nitrite detection, but their application to liquids with strong colours is restricted. We report a novel paper indicator that allows for sensing nitrite by colorimetric assay, Raman spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy with non-overlapping signal wavelength ranges through non-contact means. The paper ind...
